Description
Live mussels (Mytilus spp).For more information about our strict welfare and quality standards visit www.tescoplc.com/marine-policyFor great quality & succulent texture, our mussels are rope grown & left to naturally feed in the sea off the West Coast and Shetland Isles of Scotland. This product comes from a fishery that has been independently certified to the MSC's standard for a well managed and sustainable fishery. www.msc.org MSC C 52728Scottish Mussels Rope Grown Juicy & sweet mussels, grown in the clear waters around the coast of Scotland. It is best to prepare the mussels immediately prior to cooking, rather than prepping then storing. Our mussels are a fresh, live product. They are delivered in a protective atmosphere that allows them to breathe. It is perfectly normal for the mussels in the pack to be open upon delivery. Mussels will naturally open and close their shells while in storage. If a mussel is open prior to cooking, follow the preparation guidelines on the product label to determine suitability for use. Mussels that do not close, after following the full preparation guidelines, should be discarded.
Responsibly sourcing our seafood is important to us which is why Tesco fish experts work with responsibly managed farms to continually improve their high standards of quality and welfare.

Preparation and Usage
Preparation GuidelinesRemove the mussels from the packaging, decant into a colander and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under fresh running cold water for a few minutes. Agitate and tap firmly to stimulate any open mussels to close. The protective atmosphere can make mussels sleepy and slow to react to the agitation. If any mussels are gaping widely at this stage, close the mussel between your fingers for 2 seconds, release and observe. Does the mussel stay closed when released or open slowly and begin to close back over? This movement suggests the mussel is alive. If the mussel continues to gape widely and shows no sign of closing over, the mussel is likely dead. Discard any mussels identified as dead. Remove any threadlike fibres from the shell by firmly pulling away and if desired, using a blunt knife scrape off any barnacles. Mussels that closed during rinsing may reopen again prior to cooking. This is perfectly natural.They are alive and safe for use.Preparation Guide:Pull off any beards and scrape off any barnacles or dirt.Discard any mussels with broken shells and open mussels that do not close after tapping.Add mussels, replace lid and steam on a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until they begin to open.
